Point of clarification: It's not the "last used", it's "most often used", across a sliding window period of time.

If you prefer not to use history, then before creating your views, call

yourShareActionProvider.setShareHistoryFileName(null);

Description of this method, from the official docs (emphasis mine):

Sets the file name of a file for persisting the share history which history will be used for ordering share targets. This file will be used for all view created by onCreateActionView(). Defaults to DEFAULT_SHARE_HISTORY_FILE_NAME. Set to null if share history should not be persisted between sessions.

EDIT: I should clarify — The "most often used" item won't show up if there's no history, so this is currently the only way of removing that button.
